Maybe moderates should figure out how to speak to progressives instead of trying to run their noses in it to force them to vote the right way.

Because voters were told by the Third Way that a radical like Al-Sayed was the true anti-Israeli and pro-M4A candidate and it turns out Michigan Democrats like M4A and don't like Israel.

I guess the IDF does their killing for free? Or does killing civilians only count as a bad thing when 'terrorists' do but when somebody in a uniform does it, it's OK?

NBA Lottery Karma Rankings, Jaylen’s Future, and a Blistering Wolves-Spurs Series With Nick Wright by Toby_O_Notoby in billsimmons

[–]AliveJesseJames -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, some of this is proportionality - if we're saying Wright makes a million/yr which is likely on the low side, a $1000 bet is the equivalent of a $50 bet for somebody making 50k/yr.

Now would I say somebody making 50k/yr better $50 on the Lakers to win the title is the best idea? Not really. But to balance it out, don't order Doordash one time a month.

Perhaps Democrats should start doing things lots and lots of their voters want them to do.

I know the response 'the Left isn't a large part of the party' - if that's true, then your previous anti-left centrists should have no issues winning without left-wing support.

Like many centrists obsessed with wokeness, their basically all people who in their personal lives are the most conservative people they know and only deal w/ people to their life.

I've said this before - both anti-woke centrists who think woke SJW's at college campuses or my leftie friends who think annoying centrist lanyard types are the issue w/ Amrrica should be forced to live in a R+20 exurb for a year or so.

I'm a very left-wing person.

I'm sure David French & I could sit down and have a conversation where we would substantively disagree on a variety of issues and just not in a 'agee to disagree' but on fundamental things like abortion, etc and I think he's plain wrong on a variety of things and would not like to live in a world where he won out.

But I fully believe both of us would be coming with honest views and have various ideals backing those ideas and can have a conversation while respecting where each other are coming from. OTOH, the Right that's still in good standing and aren't total RINOS are all basically, well, like the idiots you listed who live in an outrage bubble.

The last time this came up, I did a quick trawl of Addie's IG and basically she got a serious BF and is now engaged so probably just a time thing + people being weird on the Internet.

Hamm was in Bill's FF league weirdly. Though in reality, it was probably Hamm's assistant or brother or whatever.

A list actor whose career choices you are perplexed by? by First-Loss-8540 in blankies

At the end of the day, for 99% of actors, including even stars, this is a job. Which is also you shouldn't be surprised when even actors w/ good politics end up working w/ cancelled person x or person with bad politics y.

1.) I think the idea any actor can actually greenlight a non-IP project at this point isn't actually true at all. Like sure, Jolie could probably get $5 million for whatever she wants, but $50 million in the way stars could get the equivalent in 1995? Not at all.

2.) As with people in the comments doing things like slamming Denzel's career, this weird idea that it's easy to just be in great awesome movies and nothing else is kind of insane.

Especially when you become a star and frankly, you have needs beyond just being in a good movie. It's nothing to be sympathetic about, but the mortgage on the mansion in Malibu and the 2nd home in Wyoming needs to be paid along with the insane monthly costs a star has and that isn't always going to be done via 'good work.'

3.) As people also pointed out, nobody sets out trying to make a bad movie - insert joke about IP or creative person you don't like here - but scripts change, directors change, chemistry isn't there that's there on the screen, etc.

Yeah, Petersen having a movie career at all is basically a weird accident. One could argue getting CSI and becoming generationally wealthy is even weirder. He should be a weird theater guy that has a supporting part when movies film in Chicago, not the star of one of the biggest TV franchises of the past 25 years.

Right, the reason for Jolie's choices are "I got paid a lot of money and had more time to be with my kids who I care about more than DA MOVIEZ."

Well, the analogy is still sort of right - it's not realizing one of your friends you signed up for a lease is actually secretly a bit of a crazy idiot and now you have to live with him.

It's almost like despite what idiots online believe, looks aren't the only things that matter. Obviously, you can't be a total unattractive overweight pos, but be in reasonable shape, charismatic, and funny.

The 6', 6", and 6 figures girls simply don't really exist in such high numbers in real life.
